[Intro]
(Whispered)
Yeah...
Look.
They pull me from every angle.
But I don't even know what I'm looking at anymore.
Look me in the eyes and tell me...
[Hook]
What do you want from me?
Tell me the truth, I’m drownin in demands!
What do you want from me?
I’m holdin the world up inside of my hands!
What do you want from me?!
What do you want from me?!
[Verse 1]
Step in the room and I feel the weight
Everybody's starin right at me I’m feelin the hate
With my time, with my mind, with the energy I save
Tryna dig my own path, but you hand me a spade
(Yeah!)
Look at the mirror, I don't recognize the face
I’m a puppet on a string in a fast-paced race
I can read your mind, I find, you want me to fail
you want me to lose it go crazy, go off the rails!
I’m tired of the hints and im tires of the games
Write my name in the dirt, you just love how it flames
You smile in my face but you’re plottin my moves
But If I slip and I lose then I’m makin the news!
I’m walkin on eggshells, I’m breakin the floor
I open the window, you knock at the door!
How the fuck can I love you, when you’ve locked up the gate?
Look at my chest it’s crackin, it’s ready to break!
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
(Double time flow)
Pick up the phone, leave a message, I’m busy
The room is spinnin, the thoughts gettin dizzy
I'm runnin a marathon, runnin with scissors
I'm cuttin the ties with the venomous quitters
Who tell me I’m selfish for wantin my own
I'm buildin a kingdom but living alone!
(Yeah!)
You want the artist? You want the machine?
do you want the version that fits on the screen?
I can’t be the hero that saves you from your past
I’m made out of flesh, I’m made out of gas!
One spark and I’m gone, one word and I snap
I try to let go I get trapped and then I relapse
So stop with the whispers, stop with the lies
Look at me dead, look me straight in the eyes!
Say it out loud, let the venom escape
Tell me, the monster, to MY fuckin face !
What do you want from me?!
[Bridge]
(Beat strips back to just a haunting piano)
I’m tearin the pages, I’m burnin the script
I feel like my sanity’s startin to slip
You tell me you love me, you tell me I’m great
then you turn around and you feed me the hate!
(Heavy drums roll back in)
I’m done with the guessin! I’m done with the clues!
I’ve got nothin left that I’m willing to lose!
Tell me now!
[Chorus]
[Breakdown]
You push and you pull, and you tug at my sleeve
But you never tell me the things that you need
So I’m running in circles, I’m pacing the floor
I give you my all but you’re asking for more!
So stop with the whispers, stop with the lies
Look at me dead, look me straight in the eyes!
Say it out loud, let the venom escape
Tell me, the monster, to my fuckin face
What do you want from me
[Outro]
(Beat fades out, leaving only the piano)
What do you want from me?
I gave you everything.
But it was never enough.
(Heavy breath)
Never enough
